A Message from the Founder, Houston Golden:
Why did I start this philanthropy? Ever since I began writing and recording my own music at the age of 14, I have been selling my music online, and, over the years, I’ve used many different online music merchants and digital retailers with varying degrees of satisfaction and success. But selling my music was never the goal, and I have always believed that giving away my music for free to as many people as possible was the best way to secure fans that would pay for my music in the long-term future. Nearly a decade later, after watching the power of the Internet cripple the old music industry model, I’ve decided that it is now time for more alternative formats to be invented.
I have reached a point of disillusionment about the benefits of selling my music through major online merchants, such as iTunes, who take 30% of all artists’ royalties. “They don’t deserve, nor do they need, the hard earned pennies of artists!” I exclaimed to a friend. Then the light bulb idea appeared: why not create a music merchant service that gives those pennies to people and places who really and truly need them?
Music Will Save The Day is the first music donation/distribution platform that donates 100% of sales to charity.
Find a way to get involved by donating your music, donating by downloading, or by spreading the world about Music Will Save The Day. The philanthropic music movement has begun.
Sincerely,
Houston Golden
